Rocco-

I am from the area where you grew up. Being a avid golf fan , I look forward to seeing you play in Akron, Ohio. The field is changing and the competition is exciting. It is nice to see an addition like yourself coming to play. I hope to meet you. It would be my pleasure!

Rocco,

The most exciting golf  I've ever watched.  I know it's by no means at the same level, but at 36 , I played point guard in a 2 outta 3 championship playoff in basketball in one night.  We ultimately won after 3 games that night and I couldn't get outta bed the next day.  I was spent and couldn't even walk after I cooled off.  I fully felt for once, especially playing against/with opponents and teammates 10 or more my youth, that I left nothing on the playing field.  As proud as I am for my efforts that day, watching you blew me away and reinforced my will to win and perform under incredible amounts of stress.

Like I said, I know what you did is on another level, but afteall, it's all relative.  Had my jump shot or assist had a million bucks behind it, I'm not sure if I would have been inspired by the opportunity to win it or scared of missing to lose it.  But, watching you, I could tell you really only cared about winning.

Either way, Bravo!  I play golf, too, but every time I swing the club, I have no idea what the outcome.  Here's to kissing you're butt.  God Bless and good luck!

Rocco,  


Wish I could find how to talk to you directly. I went to Florida Southern for a year and thought I could play. Went to a meeting with Coach Matlock and just laughed. I'll never forget my short time there and how good Coach was to me even though I couldn't break 75. Congrats on a great open and good luck.

Rocco,

I just turned 40 May 28th....have been frustrated with my game for years. Your performance this week was something for all of us 'old guys' to savor....and a true motivational tool for any of my upcoming club tourneys .

Thank You for showing me and the entire world that ANYONE is beatable at anytime if you focus and work hard.

Thank you also for a tremendous Fathers day treat!

I am truly in awe of your performance.

Rocco,

Thank you for sharing your heart and soul with millions who have savored every moment of this U.S. Open. When I get old and try to recall some of the past Opens, this one will be the one I remember in great detail.

I also loved your peace sign belt buckle. I literally started clapping when I saw it. :D

Best of luck to you Rocco, stay strong and come back next year and do it again. I am now your number one fan!

Rocco,

Golf became enjoyable when Tiger came on the tour, he brought energy, youth and emotion...He made it a game the average joe could relate to...  Then, you show up, friendly, playing to the crowd, not stuffy but one of us, the regular people, down to earth, laid back but with a dream...  You may have not won the OPEN but you won a lot of fans and I believe, made one of the most memorable Majors I have seen or may have ever been seen for generations to come.  I look forward to the DVD on this one to pass on to my kids.  Thank you, for such a great memory!

Rocco,

You may have come up a stroke or two short but you won the hearts of every golf fan and probably every sports fan in general. Congratulations on the grittiest performance in a sporting event I have ever seen.

I don't think it will be a stretch to say that you will be a future Ryder Cup Captain, the players on tour love you, golf fans love you and you know what it takes to win!

Lastly, if I had to pick between you and Tiger to play 18 holes with and just enjoy the round, you win hands down.

Your biggest fan,

Rocco,

      I just want to tell you how proud I am of your play in the 2008 U.S. Open. You are a true gentleman and a great golfer. I had the pleasure to meet you during a golf event in New Jersey some years ago. I must say you haven't changed one bit. If anything your golf game got better.

     Keep your head up, because you earned it. Sure I wish you would have won on Monday, but you won the hearts of many viewers and golfers.  May your future be bright and may you stay healty for a long time. I enjoy your golf game.

       Dennis T.

Rocco-you were the "Everyman" vs "Superman" and you almost pulled off the greatest upset in the U S Open history=you won't be a footnote in Tiger's Major Championship book-you'll be an entire chapter!

Rocco,

I am in awe! You are an incredible sportsman, and an inspiration for everyone and an example of the perfect competitor. This was the best major I have ever witnessed. In my view you are a winner and I do hope that you will continue to play and .......... maybe next time ................

You are the first to push Tiger (And he is the best)

Well done and thank you!

Rocco,

I must confess that I was terribly conflicted. I'm a die hard Tiger fan--I admire excellence. But I also recognized another kind of excellence in watching your play--excellence of spirit. You are a true inspiration to the ideal of good sportsmanship and to the idea of being true to oneself.

Admirable job, Rocco. A ton of people fell in love with you today.

Rocco,

You should be proud of the waqy you held the legend to your game and made him play catch up. You played 72 toe to toe holes and for that I will always be proud of your stamina and courage. Though you didn't win in the end by score ,you will always be a hero to us and especially me.

As a 61 year old man who loves the sport ,I try hard every time I play to finish without back pain. This is not always the case.Now I can tell you after watch your performance againist the best in Golf, I'm going out and play with all my energy and I will always keep in my mind every stoke of the way....no matter how much pain.

Rocco   you are  good for the sport and an example for us senior men. The next 18 are for you.

Your friend,
